We Got A Face Lift!

I’ve been awake an absolute stupid amount of time the last 4 days getting this in working order (in fact it’s been something in one stage of development or another for almost a year) so I’ll keep this announcement brief. New sites, we has them. There is a lot for me to show off but I’m exhausted so it’ll have to wait for later this week. While we finish migrating things there’s going to be a bunch of weird things happening on the site and things breaking and not working as expected. Please hang in there and all should be running much smoother in a few days. In the meantime, hope you like the new look!

I have always loved the metblogs, berlin and la are my favorites. But the font size is just a joke. This is a deal breaker, write some easy css stuff or figure out that not everyone uses Windows, so we can read it without changing the browser setting for one site. I really can’t emphasize enough HOW BAD the READABILITY is on the new site.

For the love of god! Change the size of the header image. Site takes up waaaay too much real estate on a 13″ Macbook. Not friendly to the Mac environment where the page should only take up as much of the screen as the content. I hate having to scroll sideways let along having the scrollbar at the bottom.

While I have to agree that the header is overly large (it fails to fit on my 14.1″ iBook) and there appears to be a problem with being redirected to the Metblogs dashboard when I log in to post a comment (despite my directing the site as well as my machine to “remember me”), the graphic design of the banner, logo and attendant art is brilliant. A great modern motif, Sean and Co.

love the new layout… just PLEASE increase the typeface size! I’m clearly not the only one asking for this. It’s not *terribly* too small, it’s just small enough that it makes one uncomfortable reading it in large blocks and for any length of time. Good design=good readability, not just prettiness.

If I up the font size on my browser than I’m forced to decrease it anytime I visit another site. That’s not cool.

Seriously, the Font size sucks, at least make it a big bigger all we are asking for is for a .5 increase, is that too much to ask? Oh and the RSS feed, please think of the children and fix the rss feed :'(

Perhaps changing the typeface, if the size is to remain the same. I would suggest Bell Centennial, as it works easily in the phone book (for which it were expressly conceived).
Otherwise, please do use a larger font.
